Quote of the Day:

George Will's end of year column is balanced, attacking everyone and finishing up with a look at who passed on this year. This one was the best:

Vic Power, a Puerto Rican first baseman, was one of baseball's first Hispanic stars. Sports Illustrated reports that when Power was playing in the minor leagues in the South, he was told by a waitress that the restaurant did not serve Negroes. He replied, "That's OK, I don't eat Negroes."
